I wouldn't do that. I think the main problem with it is that a month really isn't that long if you've got work and other stuff to do... Plus there are probably quite a few members that only come here a couple of times a month, which makes it even more difficult.Originally posted by Darren Lewis
OR should we scrap "Book of the Month" completely?
I like the themes-idea. It narrows it down a bit and... well, you can more easily get in the mood. I wouldn't mind reading a Halloweenish and Christmasish story at all.Originally posted by murphyz
There are way too many books to suggest, so I propose the following 'themes' to consider suggestions for.
I agree. Many of the novels and novelists talked about on the Book Forum aren't that "famous" yet over here (and probably in other places as well), and therefore hard to get by, library- and bookshop-wise, so "classics" would be a good way to go. On the other hand, a lot of people wouldn't bother to reread the book and discuss it because they've read and discussed it a lot already... be that in class or whatever.Originally posted by Idun
Besides, since we are from different countries, there is a bigger chance that many people know the book. The more, the better.
